out to us how the court could have
avoided passing upon the question
whether the women were electors, in
the practical and logical examination
of the questions involved in the case
before them? Of course it will be
urged that the court should have taken
Mr.. Evans assumption as the law, and
have conceded that the statute in
question was valid legislative enact
ment; but the judges may we'll reply
that they had the statute before them
and were bound upon their oaths to
regard it as law or treat it as null
lity, in order to decide the cause under
the law. FAIR PLAY.

The snow has been fifteen feet on the

On the 7th inst, at Fidalgo island, a
young man by the name of Blood
committed suicide by blowing out his
brains. He had been for some time
paying attention to a young lady, the
daughter Of an old gentleman in whose
employ he had formerly been and it is
supposed that his addresses had not
been received with favor by the lady
or the sire and consequently the young
man took the Disappointment to heart
and resolved to end his unhappy ca
reer, and for that purpose, selected a
place about 100 yards from the house
of his lady-love, where he successfully
accomplished his purpose. From
what could be learned he was about Is
or 80 years of age and was respected
by all who knew him.
1t seems that the great smelter
scheme at Tacoma has fallen through.
Mr.. Selover, who left for the East some
time since, returned about ten days
ago and informed the would-be stock
holders that his Chicago partners had
kicked out OF the scheme, and sug
gested that the people of Tacoma take
the rejected stock. This proposition
did not create much enthusiasm, 90
he proposed to stock the concern for
$4,000 and pay up one-third. The
stockholders simply concluded that he
wanted them to give him $4,000 and
build smelter for him. It looks to q
man up tree like the trouble was
that Mr.. Selover didn't have money
enough to carry out his part of the
programme. He never seemed to
handle much money or exhibit any
familiarity with the business.

Monkeys as Farmers.

]. B. Parks, a substantial farmer
near Kingston, Kentucky, has sue
cessfully trained force of seven large
monkeys to work in his hemp fields,
and to break and prepare the hemp for
the market. They do the work quick
er and better than the negroes he for
merly employed, and the cost is about
one.fourth. 1t requires about four
months of patient training to get the
monkeys to understand the duties re-
quired> of them. But now they seem
to comprehend it all, and perform
their daily labor with but little diff.
Guilty.
The monkeys were sent to Mr.. Parks
by his brother, who is engaged in bus.
mess in Cape Town, South Africa, and
who had seen the animals put to simi.
lar uses by the natives of that country
Mr.. Parks will send for about 1O
more, six of which will be sold to John
G. Taylor, another extensive raiser oi
hemp and neighbor of Mr.. Parks.

CURRENT WINE IN DUSTRY.
Six Thousand, Five Hundred and Fif-
ty-Five Dollars per acre, net.
Reveille.

Currant wine is worth $3 per gallon,
with the whole world open for mar
ket. Whatcom county is peculiarly
adapted to the cultivation of the cur
rant. On very ordinary soil, at the
lowest estimate, one current bush or
plant will produce one gallon of cur
rants, with three pounds of sugar
makes one gallon of rich wine. 1t
costs, for each gallon, picking the bcr-
ries, 5 cents per gallon; sugar 3 lbs,
25 cents per gallon, pressing, cents
per gallon; for barrels or bottles, 10
cents per gallon, high estimate, for in
cidentals, 5 cents per gallon, total so
cents per gallon as cost of producing
the wine when the currants have been
grown-a clean profit of $3.50 per gal
Ion, and the market quotations are
more frequently at $3.50 per gallon
than below SO per gallon. Here, then,
is the cost of producing one gallon of
wine from one bush. Now, then, hold
your breath, take your pencil and
make your own calculations, which
must be as follows: At four feet
apart each way you can put 1922
plants on each acre of ground; hence
at the low estimate of one gallon to
each bush-which is an extreme mini
mum yield-you have 1922 gallons
OF wine per acre, the cost of which
has been 80 cents per gallon, or $1,3l1
per acre. 1922 gallons, sold at the
lowest price say So per gallon, gives
you 81 1865 less $1,311, cost of produc-
ton, leaving a net revenue of $6,555
per acre. These figures may appear
absolutely incredulous, yet they can
be verified by those who have already
given the subject practical test.
County Commissioner e. F. Keesling,
by the way one of the most successful
farmers in the county, on his farm adj
joining Whatcom, by way of expert
ment last fall, picked fifteen gallons of
currants from fifteen average bushes,
and made therefrom fifteen gallons of
wine of superior quality and flavor.
The cost of pressing is only trifle,
and no particular experience need be
required as in production and prepar-
alton of hops. An old cider mill, or
any method that will press the berries,
will answer the purpose. The berry,
picking season lasts about six weeks.
No more labor is required to keep an
acre of currant land in a good state of
cultivation than is necessary in the
cultivation of hop lands. Whatcom
county soil is famous for its productive
qualities, and more currants can be
produced to the acre here than in any
other part of the universe. The wine
product would never be compelled to
60 seeking for markets. When it be-
comes one of the established indus
tries of Whateom county, as it most
certainly will, wine dealers and buyers
from the east will come to our very
doors. These suggestions are thrown
out for our ranchers to consider and
reflect upon. If the figures and es-
Inmates here given are in any manner
incorrect, or if any reason exists why
the business will not pay as stated, the
Rereille will esteem it a favor by having
the same pointed out. In the mean
time prepare your land and give the
currant business the benefit Of an ex-
pertinent.

AN army of over 100000 men are
out of employment in the United
States because of prevailing strikes.
The aggregate wages of that number
of men, at 81 30 per day, amounts to
$25O,OOO a day, 81, 100000 week, or
six and half millions of dollars a
month, and the families of many of
the strikers are in destitute circum-
stances. Honest labor cannot sustain
such loss and be independently
will even go hungry. Labor organiza-
tions cannot hope to accomplish any
thing until irresponsible agitators take
back seat. They are principally to
blame for the existing state of affairs.

is generally believed, inasmuch as it

The Interstate Commerce Law.

The Railroad Gazette, which may be
regarded as speaking for the railroad
managers of the country, has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the Inter
state Commerce law and the manner
in which it is looked upon by the rail-
roads:
Some OF our contemporaries Of the
daily and technical press seem to think
that because the railroad managers Of
the country are not preparing to take
vengeance on Congress by playing all
the mischief they can with rates and
fares, therefore they are well pleased
and believe the late railroad legislation
to be about right. The behavior of
these gentlemen is on the contrary
merely proof Of their wisdom and
sober-mindedness as body. Instead
OF tearing their hair and leaving the
course OF events to be determined by
chance, they are engaged in an earnest
effort to find out, first, exactly what
the effect Of this bill is in changing
their present manner Of doing busi-
ness, and secondly, what steps must
be taken to make this change al in
nocuous as possible. If it should
prove that the long and short haul
clauses of the bill do not practically
affect railroad rates j. would not show
the harmlessness Of the bin.
1t has probably already caused in
indefinite disturbance by delaying con-
tracts which would have been con-
summated but for the alarm exert
ed by it, and this very fact carries with
it consequences to the business 81 the
country which may not express them
selves on the trade statistics of the wear
on account of other disturbing in
fiuences, but which are none the less
disastrous.
